NOT A ICON. MAN"
Jim DOnnelIy Made a Break While
Shippin9 a Corpse Yesterday.

Jim DOnnelIy had case of undertake
ing to attend to yesterday. and in con-
ducting it he made the biggest ''break"
of his life. The story runs like this: A
corpse had to be shipped to a station
about twenty miles distant. Ithad been
arranged with the father of the deceased
that the remains should leave by GER
tain train from the Union depot, and
that the father should go by the same
train and be present when the caSket
was put aboard. Punctual to the
moment J. q. was at the depot with his
dead cargo. and in jitfy had the same
in the express ear. SO far, all was well.
But where was the father? 1t wanted
but few minutes of train time and
the platform revealed the alarming fact
that the aforesaid father was nowhere
about. The train would pull out in a
moment, and whatever was to be done
had to be done quickly. So jim hast
ened into the depot breathless and eX-
cited. Casting his eagle eyes about him
he saw. at short distance, the source
of his anxiety (at least Jim thought he
was the man he Wanted.) Rushing up
he seized him by the collar of his fur
coat. and, dragging him from his seat,
shouted in his ear: ''COme, sir, you
haven't moment to spare. Your train
will leave in a moment" Hastily reach
ing for his valise, the supposed object
of Donnelly's quest fastened along to-
wards the depot platform. Before
reaching there, however, jim, with hur-
ried words and suppressed emotions said
to his companion: Il have Just put
the corpse aboard the train" If an an
archIst's bomb had exploded behind the
old gentleman he couldn't have ap-
peared more amazed. Shrinking back,
with horror depicted on his cOunten-
ance, he shouted: "What corpse, sir?
know of no corpse. You're one of
those blankety blank confidence men,
but you can't work me, blank you, you
can't work me-" Jim tumbled and ex-
planned. "What'll you take?' was the
burden of his lay yesterday.

casion was the annual sale of holiday

there throughout the spacious main par

behind the same, in quaint costumes,
bevies of prettier maidenS and groups
of fair danes, ready and willing to dole
out to the needy customers the varied
contents of their stock in trade. The

little knicknackS that so delight the
ewes of the female sex. The following
ladies conducted this table: Mrs. A. S.
Talmage, Mrs. III. c. Drake and Mrs.
Van DuZee.

and all take turns in beating her. Last
winter, it is said, they took her clothes
from her, but even then, to avoid their
cruelty. she ran away and was found

a severe beating, and she ran away from

Mr.. HutchinS again warned them to
stop their cruelty if the child returned,
which is not likely. This treatment has

The Windsor Scorched.

A small fire in the northwest corner
of the attic of the Windsor hotel yester-
day morning created a great dea | o
commotion. but did very little damage.
A domestic on the fourth floor smelled
the smoke about 1880 o'clock and gave
the alarm. William Summers, nephew
of the senior proprietor of the hotel,
held the fire in temporary check with
Babcock extinguisher and hand gren-
nades, and the department was called
at once. In ten minutes the threaten
ing flames were entirely subdued. The
damage was light, probably less than
$1,000. A few rooms in the vicinity were
more or less damaged by water.
The fremen did some splendid work.
One minute and fifteen seconds after
the alarm was turned in three pieces of
apparatus were ON the ground.

YESTERDAYS SNOW.
A Considerable Fall of Damp,
Heavy Beautiful--Troub for
Street Cars.

The cloudy and lowering weather of
Wednesday found vent yesterday in a
damp, driving snow storm. 1t COM
menced to rain about s o'clock in the
morning, but this did not last long, and
the beautiful, a fall of which has been
predicted for several days, soon began
coming down in good shape, and those
who had been predicting poor Slejghing

accompanied by wind so variable that
one was pelted square in the face
whether he travelled north or south.
Supt. Scott, of the street railway, had
his hands full, and all the day had every
available man of his force battling with
the elements. Two snow plowS were
put on each line, besides five road scrap
ers. All the teams that could be hired
were engaged, but, Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts of men and horses. old

ing many miles from the city, can come
home only Saturday nights. One of
the little boys had frozen both feet dur
ing the cold snap few days ago, and
all were in extreme want. Arrange
ments were made to aid them.
TROUBLES CAME THICK.
1t would seem that in some cases the
old adage, lit never rains, but it
pours,' finds complete verification. At
No. South Forbes street lives a young
man named Russell, and his wife, and
it looks as though everything unfort-
unate combined to make their misery
complete. Six months ago they were
prosperous and happy, when the wife
suddenly became ill. The money the
husband had saved dwindled rapidly
away for medicine and doctors bills,
until nothing was left. Then the wife
became worse, the husband had no
means to provide nurse and was
obliged to lose his position to
take care of her. She has been
almost at the point of death for some
time and but little food has entered the
house. He must have work, thus be en-
abled to get nurse and provide food.
He is nice looking, manly and intelli-
gent fellow, entirely deserving. From
all appearances one would be doing
IL fl,n
secure a valuable man, by giving him
position, and he is ready for anything.
In that locality known as COnnemara
Patch is another little hOvel like that of
Swede Benson on the levee. 1t is small,
contracted and unfit for any human to
live in. Many people would blush to
house their COW within that hastily and
rudely constructed shanty. In it
lives an Irish woman and her
''three Shmall childer," the eldest
being a girl about ten years old.
The floor tips at an angle, and so mar
row is it that one or two would find
difficulty in lying lengthwise in it. The
reporter carried iii blanket and found
them all grouped about the miniature
stove, shivering and blue, with not a
bite to eat in the house. The girl alone
can talk English. In this place, not
long ago, the nuSDallu uleu. Illey can
do nothing but let the little girl beg. as
the mother is in delicate condition
and would suffer speedy injury, per-
haps death, if exposed, as she has no
shoes. This is one of the extreme
cases of destitution, and as usual filth
reigns supreme. Manure is heaped
about the hut Oh the outside to prevent
cold, but the reporter had no difficulty
in shivering inside.
